A bit more layered than the Pastorale, the 2010 Chardonnay Estate Freestone Vineyard caresses the palate from beginning to end. Lemon, pastry, white flowers, crushed rocks and a whisper of French oak all emerge from the glass in the seamless, totally polished Chardonnay. The aromas and flavors remain bright, focused and beautifully articulated from start to finish. This is another fabulous wine from Joseph Phelps. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.

 "Gorgeous dark red cherries, savory herbs, licorice and mint are woven together in the 2011 Pinot Noir Estate Freestone Vineyard. Intense and rich, the 2011 is surprisingly rich for the year. Wilder, gamier notes appear later, adding complexity on the inviting finish."

Bill & Joseph Phelps

The Freestone Vineyard Estate in the Sonoma Coast appellation is comprised of three distinct properties: Pastorale Vineyard, Quarter Moon Vineyard and Ferguson Vineyard. The vineyards lie only 5-8 miles from the Pacific Ocean west of Bodega Bay, providing a long and cool growing season. Goldridge soils, dramatic elevations, careful attention to clonal and rootstock selections and use of biodynamic farming principles result in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that is distinctly Freestone.

The first vines were planted in 2000 with phased replantings occurring through 2007, in part due to the challenges of the site and also to diversify clonal selection and rootstocks. Thus far the vineyard diversity at Freestone has produced wine of tremendous complexity, offering layers of earth, jam, spice and minerality. Today the oldest vines are eight years old with over eighty percent of the estate planted to Pinot Noir.

The principles of biodynamic farming are applied at Freestone and form the basis of self-sustainable winegrowing. Biodynamic farming maintains, preserves and ecologically enhances the natural vineyard environment by combining natural farming practices - composting, recycling nutrients, carefully managed irrigation, the use of cover crops - with natural remedies for deficiencies and seasonal changes such as simple, natural non-toxic biological field and foliar sprays. The results of all this work contribute to the cultivation and preservation of soil health, which in turn affect fruit quality - all while respecting the environment.

" These are without question some of the most polished wines being made in the Sonoma Coast today. "
